How do i edit the top of my page on phpBB2? I need to put the banner ad on it but i cant find anywhere to edit it... Help?

In cPanel, Go To the File Manager. then if youre in Public_html go to the forums directory. go to styles->themes->and edit the Overall_Header.html

Then you have to delete everything in the Cache except for the Index.html

Guide:

So you wanna put ads on your phpbb forums? Or do you just wanna ad a special footer? Whatever it is, here's a simple guide to doing so.

First of all, you're going to need to do this with each template, or you can have different templates vary.

Now, to add things, on your ftp server, in the folder of the template you want to modify, open one of two files.
Either overall_header.tpl for the header
or
overall_footer.tpl

Now, right before the closing tags of html, you can put whatever content you want in there. That means you can put ads, pictures, anything you want. Have fun!

Edit: I found it, thank you VERY much!!

All that was in the cache was just the index, so i didnt have to do anythign there, and i checked and the ad works great!

One last thing; how do i change the huge "phpBB: Creating Communities" logo in the top left corner to an image of my choice that fits me forum and site better?

1. Uploading logo
First you should create a logo image and upload it.
If you are using subSilver 2, you should upload logo image to directory styles/subSilver/imageset/
If you are using proSilver, you should upload logo image to directory styles/prosilver/imageset/

Logo should be in gif, jpg or png format.
2. Changing logo
Login to your forum control panel. In control panel navigation click "Styles" link:

In styles management click "Imagesets" link, from available imagesets select one you are editing:

From images list in "Edit Imageset" section select "Main logo". It will show you your current logo.
From available images list in "Images" section select image you have uploaded:

If you don't see your image in images list, then you have uploaded it in wrong directory or image is in wrong format.

Click "Submit" button. That's all, logo image should be changed to your logo.
